    Tasha’s words sounded like praises, but they were in insults to Vivian. She thought that Tasha was


    being harsh on purpose.


    Vivian was the adopted daughter of the Turner family. She couldn’t bepared to such ackluster


    person. Besides, she didn’te here to tter Natalie, and she didn’t need to tter a bitch like


    Natalie.


    Vivian stared at Tasha’s thin, big-bellied figure. Tasha was so big now that she was having difficulty


    walking. Dealing with a weak, pregnant woman like Tasha would be a piece of cake for Vivian. Tasha


    would have no strength to fight her back at all.


    A fierce look shed in Vivian’s eyes. She stretched out her hand and was about to push Tasha from


    behind when the door of the meeting room suddenly swung open, o


    When Natalie came in with desserts and tea, the first thing she saw was Vivian quickly withdrawing her


    hand from Tasha’s back.


    Feeling confused, she c*ocked her head to the side and looked at Vivian. She asked with a frown,


    “What’s going on here?”


    Vivian replied calmly, “Tasha has some stray feathers on her shirt. I was just trying to remove them.”


    Natalie didn’t feel like buying a single word of Vivian’s exnation. Even though stunned, Tasha took


    Vivian’s word. She quickly said, “Maybe they’re the fluff from a guest’s feather hat I sewed up this


    morning. Thank you, Miss Cooper.”


    Vivian smiled without saying anything. She turned to look at Natalie and asked casually, “Mrs. Larson,


    are you here for a progress report on our discussion?”


    “I’m here to bring you some desserts,” Natalie answered, putting down the tray and looking at Tasha.


    “I’ll take over whatever needs tending here for you, Tasha. Mr. Wesley is looking for you. Looks like he

    has something very important to tell you.”


    Bewildered, Tasha muttered, “What of importance could Mr. Wesley have to tell me?”


    With a wry smile, Natalie held Tasha’s arm and started leading her out of the room. “Who knows?


    Maybe he has a new project for you. Go see Mr. Wesley and find out. Don’t keep him wait too long.”


    After Tasha left, Natalie sat down. She picked up the documents Tasha left and went over them. “These


    uniforms Tasha introduced are very good. They’re warm and decent. What do you think?”


    “My opinion doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’ll bring these documents back so that Mr. Larson can make the


    final decision,” Vivian replied and started sorting out the documents. She was relieved that Natalie


    didn’t ask further about what happened between her and Tasha just now.


    ncing casually at the files, Natalie pulled out a piece of paper from one of the folders and said, “This


    design is good. It suits Brandon’s taste. The style is simple, but the utilization rate will be high if the


    clothes are loose. Give it to Brandon for reference.”


    Hearing that, Vivian was stunned. She nodded and then sighed, “But I don’t know when Mr. Larson will


    be back.” She walked up to Natalie and asked cautiously, “Can you tell me when Mr. Larson will be


    back, Mrs. Larson? I’ll prepare all the materials and make a follow-up n.”


    Vivian looked at Natalie with such innocent eyes. In the past, Natalie wouldn’t have doubted a thing


    about her. Natalie smiled and said, “Why are you asking me?”


    Embarrassed, Vivian opened her mouth to say something but stopped on second thought.


    Natalie chuckled, “Well, I didn’t say I wouldn’t tell you.” With a shy look on her face, she proceeded,


    “Although we’re friends, the matter about Brandon is a littleplicated. Besides, he’s been injured


    because of me. I don’t know if I should tell people or not.


    Natalie spoke casually, which made Vivianugh deep inside. What a fool. Natalie had just revealed


    the truth to her.


    However, Vivian pretended to be shocked and echoed, “Mr. Larson has been injured because of you?


    That sounds serious. My colleagues and I all thought Mr. Larson was on a business trip abroad. That’s


    why he hasn’te back to thepany.”


    Natalie licked her lips and looked into Vivian’s eyes.


    She held Vivian’s hands and hesitated for a while before she finally said, “You’re the only person I told


    about this. Please don’t tell anyone else.”


    A snicker almost escaped Vivian’s throat. As expected, Natalie didn’t know that Vivian had been put in


    an important position and that Vivian had known about what really happened to Brandon.


    Vivian found Natalie foolish and ridiculous. With someone so stupid like Natalie as Brandon’s wife, the


    Larson Group would eventually go bankrupt.


    Vivian then nodded solemnly and replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone find out.”


    After hearing Natalie’s story, she said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect things to get soplicated. Did you


    get hurt?”


    Natalie suddenly became gloomy and her face turned grim. “I’m doing fine, but Brandon is still in the


    hospital. Something just went wrong with my car and I lost control of the brakes. Brandon was the one


    who saved me and my friend.”


    It was then that Vivian looked away, pretending to be surprised by the story. “How could a perfectly


    functioned car suddenly stop working? I think we should head to the car manufacturer. Perhaps they’ve


    been cutting corners in the manufacturing of the cars and it led to this tragedy.”


    “It’s definitely not the manufacturer’s fault. Clearly, someone tampered with my car,” Natalie said tly.


    At this point, Vivian became serious. “Who would do something like that? We need to find out who did


    this and punish them for this awful act!”


    After observing Vivian’s reactions, Natalie smirked and replied, “This isn’t over. One way or another, I’ll


    find out who’s been trying to hurt me. I’ll chase them to the ends of the world if I have to. I won’t let


    them get away with this.”


    Vivian looked away from Natalie’s smiling eyes. For some reason, she felt like Natalie seemed aware


    of the entire situation.


    But when Vivian looked back at Natalie, she noticed that the other woman looked absolutely clueless.


    “What’s wrong? You don’t look so good,” Natalie asked.


    Vivian tried topose herself. She led herself to believe that she was just overthinking things.


    Someone as stupid as Natalie wouldn’t figure out her n.


    “I’m just a little scared about all this. Mrs. Larson, you are the kindest person I’ve ever met. I can’t


    believe someone would try to kill you! What’s this worlding to?” Vivian replied with a worried look


    once she had calmed down.


    Wearing a look of worry and fear as well, Natalie heaved a sigh. “I’m just worried that this is over. I


    don’t know what I’m going to do from here on out.”
